"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world..."
~ Woodrow Wilson
I love reminders that we all matter, that we all have power, and that every one of us affects "the whole" during our time here.
Such reminders nourish my highest intentions and encourage my best efforts. They stir increased appreciation and respect for others too.
A dear minister friend of mine fine tunes these reminders by pointing out that we don't necessarily have to contribute by "doing." The truth is: we affect those around us and the whole system with the quality of our "being."
There are many ways to enrich the world. We can all enrich the
world and enable the world to live more amply with vision when we ourselves hold high visions.
Let's look for the best in one another. Let's reflect to others the beauty, the kindness, the creativity, the courage...whatever we see that we admire.
Too often we hold back from voicing the compliment, the commendation, the praise.
Remembering that we help create what we think, let's hold high and beautiful visions for the whole human family, for the world, for all creation.
With hope and prayers,
Charlene
